Moving the pan, splashed ink on something nice and white? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

napkin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something nice and white?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'moving the pan splashed ink' is the wordplay.
'moving' indicates anagramming the letters (letters are moved around).
'splashed' indicates an anagram.
'pan' is an anagram of 'nap'.
'ink' anagrammed gives 'kin'.
'nap'+'kin'='NAPKIN'

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for napkin that I've seen before include "Diner's cloth" , "piece of material giving consumer protection" , "Protective cloth square worn during meals" , "Cloth rectangle worn at mealtime" , "Cloth square worn while eating" .)
